EDITTHE WINNERS OF THE GIVEAWAY ARE : MOURADLD, DJ AND VITAAMINE! Congrats to all, now hit me with your your full name and postal address at contact.itpsop@gmail.com so I can send you this wonderful package in time for Christmas!

Now the wonderful 2-hour pop extravaganza is available for you to watch and listen to endlessly. Yup, the watery popfest was filmed in 2D and 3D in London when Kylie played the O2 no less than five times in April 2011. The DVD & Blu-ray formats come along with a 2-CD set comprising the whole show. As usual, Kylie and her team know how to please the fans with those recordings, probably the most beautiful concert film I've seen alongside Jonas Akerlund's film of Madonna's Confessions Tour. The cinematography does the extraordinary stage, costumes, choreographies and lighting justice in any possible way, placing the viewer right in the middle of the arena, in the air with the aerialists, in the central "splashzone" with the lucky (but wet) fans, and of course very close to Kylie herself.

With every number being a highlight in itself, it's hard to decide which moment is the most exciting one of the show. I'll have to go for the incredible Slow (easily one of my favorite songs of hers) starting as a jazzy take on the Body Language single and morphing into an electro monster while the stage revolves in the most amazing way, or the super-joyful (if not a tiny bit cheesy) "Angel" segment which sees Kylie fly over the audience and then perform a perfect cover of Eurythmix's There Must Be An Angel. The finale is of course one of the most breathtaking staging ever done by any touring artist, bringing Vegas, the Cirque du Soleil and top-notch technology together under the same arena roof. If the watery rendition of All The Lovers doesn't make you want to take your clothes off and dance suggestively in your bathroom, you're a lost cause!

My personal experience of Les Folies was and remains an absolute highlight of my all-time concert-going experience, and quite frankly, I even felt quite emotional at some points (the opening, The One, Slow, All The Lovers), caught in between the overall super-joyful feeling of witnessing such an impecable show, and the pride of watching a popstar I've loved for years being so genuinely generous and happy to perform for her fans. Les Folies Tour truly was a renewing of vows between a fantastic and too-often neglected performer and her loyal fans. A declaration of love you're now able to watch over and over. Thank you team Kylie!

CONTEST: Kylie's french label EMI have been nice enough to give me the opportunity to offer 3 DVD/2CD boxsets of Aphrodite Les Folies [Live in London] for you to win. To enter the competition simply leave a comment on this post telling me which song you wish Kylie had done during Les Folies, and why. My three favorite entries will win! Winners will be announced on Saturday here and through Facebook and Twitter. Stay tuned!

I wish Kylie had done Please Stay. When I saw her in San Francisco I was blown away. Everytime I look at my pictures from that concert I still get excited :) It was amazing I can't stop talking about it!

I wish Kylie had sung All I See. It's a great pop track and wasn't sung during the KylieX2008 tour either. It would have fitted in nicely with On A Night Like This and All The Lovers. It's one of the only songs other than Cosmic that I would love to hear Kylie sing live

I wish Kylie had done Finer Feelings because it's a song that she had never performed entirely since the concert she made in Dublin in 1992. It's a wonderful and, in my opinion, an overrated ballad that serves to be performed to all the fans that belong to a different generation. If I were in a concert where could sing this song, I'm pretty sure that I would get very excited and feel like one of the happiest and proudest persons in the world :)

I would have to say "Too Much"...It is a fun, catchy modern song from the Aphrodite album...everbody can dance to that song.. I feel happy hearing that song. I am also delighted to know that it was made by Kylie, Jake Shears (of the Scissor Sisters fame) and Calvin Harris..which is a good collaboration

It's such an utopia, but I wish Kylie had done "Where the wild roses grow" It would be a different moment from all the epic and innovative show.. Maybe with a new special arrangement with violins and guitars. That song is a poem and Kylie's voice would be the perfect way to create a magic moment!

I wish Min had done White Diamond, is the perfect ballad, and is so much important in my life this song, because with this song i started to be fan of Kylie, cause i was in hospital, and Kylie gave me encouragement to continue, there's always a way out

I would have liked her to bring back BUTTERFLY!! When she first did it on the Kylie: Live in Sydney DVD I was BLOWN AWAY!! I live in CA, USA & I would love to see her perform BUTTERFLY live because it gets EVERYONE dancing & feeling good...Whats better than that?
